“An Outstanding Dining Experience”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 May 2012

What a pleasant surprise to find a restaurant in Daylesford that easily matches the likes of Number 8 @ Crown and Wolfies @ Circular Quay in Sydney. All aspects of the meal were outstanding: preparation, presentation and taste, and the service was also impeccable. An extensive wine list to meet all tastes... if you can't find something to eat and... More

“Expensive, but good.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 May 2012

We were walk-ins to this restaurant on a Monday night during a trip to Daylesford simply because the restaurant we had planned to visit was closed. Even at 7pm the restaurant was close to being full. They could not give us a table for two unless we waited an hour but were happy to accommodate us on one corner of... More

“Worth is top spot ranking”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 April 2012

This place is a cracking good fine dining spot and I can see why it has become the top rated restaurant in Daylesford. The food is superb, an amazing wine list to match and excellent professional service makes dining here a truly pleasurable experience. Set in a wonderfully restored 1890's wine-bar, the décor is refined and tasteful, hinting at the... More

From when we arrived to when we left, we found the waiting staff to be impeccable, friendly, competent and more importantly knowledgeable, not the least being the sommelier. Nothing was too much trouble even anticipating patrons' wants and even directions to nearest walking tracks & a map!. The food was top presentation and well priced considering the quality of much...
